WASHINGTON, March A.-Acting Secre-
tary Muldrow has to-day ordered the re-
versal of the decisions of the commissioner
of the general land office in three private
| claim cases. The first is the contest
brought by Christopher C. Cowell against
the timber culture entry of John #.
Stearns, of Des Moines, Iowa. The next
case is that of James Nolan, of the Chey-
enne, Wyoming district The land in
question was formerly embraced in a des-
ert land entry, which was cancelled No
two soldiers additional homestead entries
were made, covering a portion of this land.
| One half an hour later Nolan attempted
to file preenption declaratory statement
covering the same. Nolan averred that
he was already settler upon the land,
having purchased the dwelling house and
! other improvements of its previous occu.
pants. The local officers refused to record
the statement and transmitted the case to
the commissioner, by whom they were sus-
tanned. Mr.. Muldrew orders that the
statement be received and that hearing
rights of the rival clai mants. The third
case is that of Hiram &. Everest, who made
lode and mill site entry in the Grand
Island mining district Of Colorado. The
lode entry was granted. but the mill site
entry was cancelled because of the failure
to prove that the notices required by law
had been posted on the land. MIR. Muldrow
holds this decision to be good in law, but
that in this case the failure was due to an
honest mistake for which the officers of the
government were in part responsible. He
therefore orders reverse of the cancella-
tion and restoration of Everest's rights
upon the application.
A SUCCESSOR TO MINISTER COX.
The president this afternoon appointed
Oscar s. Straus, New York. to be envoy ex-
traOrdinary and minister plenipOtentiary
of the United States to Turkey.
Oscar s. Straus, the newly appointed
minister to Turkey, is prominent New
York importer. He was president of the
Observation-Disclosures business mems club
of 1884.
FAIRClIILD WILL GET IT.
There is no longer any doubt that Secre-
tarv Fairchild has been informed by the
president that he Is to be the secretary of
the treasury after the lst of April. This
will prevent any disturbance In financial
affairs, probably.

WORK OF THE ANARCHIST
An Attempt to Assassinate Members of
the Illinois Legislature.

the Illinois Legislature.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, March 22.-An at
tempt was made upon the life Of Repre-
sentative George B Bailey, labor member
from East St. Louis, tonight by some un-
known person. Mr.. Bailey was returning
to his boarding house and was in the act
of stepping upon the porch leading to the
door when he was fired on by person
who was cancelled behind a corner of the
house. The revolver used was of heavy
calbre and the ball went through Bailey's
overcoat, piercing memorandum in his
pocket and lodging in another book. Mr..
Bailey says he has no theory concerning
the shooting. The fact of his having been
one of the parties to a resolution condemn
ing two labor members for acting as pail
bearers at Mrs. Neebe's funeral is attrib-
uted by some as cause for the shooting.

The fact that Mr.. Cooley's name heads

about "A years DID, a republican in politics,
who studied law with Senator Edmunds,
served as colonel in the union army, and

ing part in framing legislation to solve the
railway problem and has given much study
to the question.
Augustus Schoonmaker is a lawyer Of
Kingston, New York, and was always a
close personal and political friend of Gov
ernor Tilden. He succeeded Mr.. Fairchild
as attorney general of New York.
Mr.. Bragg has been leading democrat
in Alabama for some years. In 1881 he
was made president of the Alabama State
railroad commission and served in the po-
sition for years, during which time many
important questions arising between the
railroads and their customers were salts
factOrily adjusted.
